I’m exporting a project on Windows for the first time, made a nice character controller, want to package it for my portfolio, and I’m getting a consistent error.
It reads “Failed to open descriptor file C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.1/Nest/Nest.uproject”.
Notably, when I follow that directory to UE_5.1, there is no Nest folder there.

AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=25 (Error_UnknownCookFailure)
I should note that it doesn’t take 6 minutes 40 seconds to come to the error, I’m pretty sure it timestamps when I close the error window.
I haven’t been able to find any other posts that aren’t explicitly about Android packaging which doesn’t seem to similar. If anyone could point me in the right direction to how I can fix this I’d very much appreciate it.
